About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this section of the Blue Mountains, where the North Fork John Day Wild and Scenic River carves through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape shaped by water and high-elevation land management, anchored by the significant recreational and hydrologic hub of Olive Lake. The presence of the Upper Reservoir and the Olive Lake Loop trail suggest a localized infrastructure dedicated to water storage and forest access.

Settlement patterns are represented by small, remote outposts such as Saddle Camp and Ben Harrison, connected by seasonal routes like the 10 Road (Snow). Names like Silver Hill and Silver Butte hint at the region's mining heritage, while the complex drainage network of Granite Creek and N Fork Desolation Cr defines the steep topography. From the grassy expanse of Lost Meadow to the prominent peak of Sheep Rock, the map provides a contemporary view of this protected wilderness.
